Details

Description:
After the recent changes in pambase, /etc/pam.d/other defaults to deny authentication.
xlockmore depends on pam to authenticate the user and doens't work anymore because it lacks the /etc/pam.d/xlock configuration file.

Creating /etc/pam.d/xlock with this minimal content solves the issue (alert! I'm not a pam expert).
auth required pam_unix.so

Additional info:
* package version(s)
xlockmore 5.56-1
pambase 20190105.1-1
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Lock the screen and try to unlock.
The program doesn't unlock the screen ("invalid login").
This task depends upon

Addendum: the source tarball contains the pam config file etc/xlock.pamd

#%PAM-1.0
#auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth include system-auth

You can manually fix it by adding a file

/etc/pam.d/xlock

with contents

```
auth required pam_unix.so
```
